Small SUV's are all the rage these days. This is Vauxhalls offering - the creatively named 'Mokka'. They're pretty cheap to buy used, so let's see what they're like.

"You could do far worse" could be the most accurate catchline ever for Vauxhall advertising.
".... you could've bought a Qashqai"
Haha yes but I think the 'far' is a bit of a stretch. Maybe just "Vauxhall - You could do worse."
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

They are great for getting in and out when you get older. That’s why we have a SUV
That's a great point, my grandma bought a small SUV mostly for the raised ride hight so she could get in and out a lot more easily.
Yeah my dad is the same.... little cheap to run car, easy to park and easy to get in and out of.
th-cam.com/video/iCPent6jBHk/w-d-xo.html
Exactly the reason why my uncle (80+) bought a Nissan Qashqai. Easy to get in and out, good gas mileage, has a lot of room, overall cheap to run and reliable. In fact, one of the most popular small SUV's in the EU.
Thanks mate it’s nice of you give honest opinion on cars.
Had one as a hire car, really quite nice with excellent heating system ( it was snowy and was very quick to get warm).
Love all your great car reviews. Regarding special snow tyres (tires in USA), my experience in Colorado winters was that a set of 4 new Blizzak’s (or similar) do noticeably slightly better on ice because of their softer rubber compound. Worked great on my old rear wheel drive 1992 Lexus LS400 - went up the mountains to the ski resorts just fine.
love this channel, well done and thanks
Much appreciated!
Subject to all the negative comments my wife owns a Mokka 1.6 SE and I drive a BMW 530 petrol. To be fair it’s fully loaded and mint condition only covering 15K miles. Yeah they’re dull and quite practical in the other hand. I cannot shift anything in my boot and the Mokka is great for dump runs and picking up building materials and...... now the practical approach, taking and picking me up from the pub!
"it's not ugly" - summed up perfectly.
It’s is ugly
Not sure whst this says about us, but our previous car was a Juke, although the 190ps DigT. We now have the newer 1.6 diesel engine Mokka 136ps. It feels slmost as quick as the Juke, gets 60mpg on a run, has the upgraded alloys which makes a big difference to looks. All things considered, its pretty decent.
Great down to earth no frills review as usual 🙂👍
Thanks 👍
A very fair and accurate review thanks again Matt
I drove a Mokka around in the south of Spain, it was an airport rental. It was pretty good, nothing stuck out to me as bad. I drove it like I stole it in the mountains, it handled okay, and it didn't break. But it's very forgettable.
I think the stylists efforts should be appreciated here. They managed to design a car that is at once both spectacularly ugly and stultifyingly dull to look at, no mean feat. It’s the Gail Platt of the automotive world. Well done, Vauxhall Opel!
It's for men who listen to woman's hour on Radio 4.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
@Pedro Areias I don't think the Juke can be outdone.
They are not bad at all, of course I would prefer an astra but its still a reliable vehicle, a friend of mine has bought a brand new one back in 2016 and we ve abusing it for a year and it s still staying tough, we ve gone off roading with it and it s only a base model so it s only fwd and not to mention the burnouts which were quite a few these are a really good bang for the buck, very onest cars
I'm inclined to agree with you.
I get 70 mpg in my small SUV of which I think is good. great video mate
always great advice
I love your honest reviews! Please do on BMW E61 and BMW F31 and BMW E91 as well
Believe it or not, this is one of the two choices (alongside the Skoda Yeti) that Tilhill Forestry gives to their Forest Managers for bashing up and down the motorway and on forest roads. Apparently, they're not that bad. Scottish Woodland Forest Managers get 2 wheel Drive Nissan Jukes for the same purposes. I needed something similar for my work, so I went with the Suzuki SX4 Hatchback with the 2.0L diesel engine, which is an excellent workhorse if you don't mind having your eardrums blown out due to Suzuki's inability to soundproof. That little car has done more off-roading than most Landrovers in the UK will ever hope to!
Good stuff. Never thought I'd hear Roy Keane and Vauxhall Mokka in the same sentence.
Excellent as ever!
Holden Trax down here, had one out of Birmingham airport last year as a rental, Petrol very Grim. Having hired an Insignia SRI Diesel the year prior I would go for one of those, I really liked it very much agree with your views. Another great Video I look forward to you travesing the back roads of England some time soon.
Thanks for watching :)
I agree with you about Motability cars , looked a 2 cars in main dealers both 3 years old, less than 20000 miles . Paint work had scratches all over and alloys where kerbed , cars looked like they had not been looked after.
Because the first 'owners' dont have to pay the fines for damage like anyone else
I have a mokka 1.7tdi with 76000 miles had the alleys powder coated added some chrome bling off e bay my mokka is orange had it for3 years still love driving it
I don't care what the 10 minute review people say it's a nice car to drive
Just booked it in for new timing belt and drive belt and keeping the car
For people who have problems with the black plastic bumpers colour fade try autogym bumper jell see u tube
Not my sort of motor but enjoyed the review. Hope you are coping with these strange times. All the best
Totally agree with you 💯% on the Juke, ghastly things. Anyone buying those I'm sad to say lacks taste.
I had one of these for three months touring Spain a couple of years back,,,feather light steering,could drift too easily on motorway,full leather,high spec,diesel,,,beepers drove us round the bend(awful),,,over shoulder Blindspot which led to accident reversing out of parking bay,,,never buy one but strangely loved the three months 'ownership',,,put on thousands of miles,no rattles etc economical no hassles,,,!
I always rate this guy's opinion , he is a professional car dealer and not some "wannabe" car critic who has never earned a living by dealing in cars.
Totally agree my friend 👍👍👍
Thanks!
The height is a bonus for those who have problems with bone joints rather than trying to drop down or climb out .Also the view is a bonus for seeing over hedges and other cars.
Thats true
Good video. The 1.7 diesel was replaced by a 1.6 which is fantastic. Whisper quiet, all alloy, chain cam and comes in two power ratings. I've got the 134 bhp, 231 lbs/ft version (in an Astra Estate, goes like the proverbial off a shovel) my girlfriend has got the same engine in the Mokka. I really think this is the best 1.6 diesel in the world right now. (Renault Nissan has a comparative but it's a cast iron block and alloy head which has not been a brilliant recipe in the past). The girlfriend knows nothing about cars or engines, but being 5ft 3 or 4 she likes the Mokka's raised seating position and view of the road. She also likes the chunkyness of the vehicle ( in case she crashes it presumably). It's black and I think it looks rather cool albeit I prefer the aerodynamics and handling of my Astra. Because you're young you don't realise that not everyone wants to buy a huge 4X4 which commensurate running costs! That's why the smaller SUVs have had such a good run (Mokkas, Yettis, Dusters, etc). BTW, I didn't know that PSA had cancelled the Mokka and I'm very sorry to hear it. I just hope they don't cancel the Vauxhall/Opel diesel engines because they're better than their own!
What about the engine rattling at start? Did you replace the distribution chain or the tensioner gasket? What is your opinion after 2 years with 1,6 CDTI?
@@savinmitranescu9147 Six years with it now and 105k miles. No replacements of any kind required. For its size this is the best engine I've ever dealt with. I believe this engine has also been put into Vauxhall Vivaro vans.
I had a 2013 1.7 CDTi 4x4 Mokka, 6 speed manual, had it for 7 years , mine came in to it’s own on country roads, no leaning on bends, 4x4 system was active all the time not part time, you could tell the way it cornered on tight bends , miss that on 2WD.... conti tyres got me anywhere in any snow. That Isuzu engine would give me 50+ mpg around town ( to the astonishment of a Prius owner friend) and on UK holidays around Norfolk I got 60+ mpg this is from 4wd , it was fabulous, mine was the SE that had an Ai system that looked after headlamp aim at night 😊
Got same car, same age. I've read about 4x4 system they use and it's definitely 2wd until front starts slipping. Engine is efficient but soo noisy... I wouldn't mind but it push gas and it sounds like I'm hurting it ;) And I don't use auto high beam because it's very slow to react and not sensitive enough to turn high beam off to stop blinding other drivers. And I think the ride is quite hard and car is generally loud inside.
@@Mietas2 I couldn’t use the auto high beam no, but the system changed the light pattern to suit road speed and steering wheel on corners. But mine wasn’t part time 4WD only setting off with auto hold it would then set off in 2WD , I felt the way it cornered it was so stable as though it pulled and pushed was great , a friend had a Zafira with the same engine only 2WD and only got 40+ mpg 😊
Another informative video
Glad you think so!
Loved the Roy Keane comment
Have you seen the all new Mokka. It looks superb. The exterior design is amazing and the interior design of the brand new model is also very nice
Stroke your guide dog Mr.?
Good video 👍. I like how your reviewing these ordinary cars. There far from spectacular or fast though they economical to a extent and reliable. Even if they sound like 90 transit vans..
Haha thats right
2:18 Probably the best summing up of Keane in a sentence I have ever heard LOL.
The start-stop system is on by default by design. Otherwise they can’t take advantage of it in the official fuel efficiency and CO2 tests. In fact, that system exists almost entirely to optimise for these tests.
A good review,too many Vauxhall haters.I am lucky enough to own nice cars but when I didn't had a humble Astra mk4 with that Isuzu 1.7 lump which I had for 8 years and 160,000 miles,sold it for a song but it's still going.55MPG and only let me down once with a flat battery.Humdrum but sound cars made in the UK as well
This car helped bring Vauxhall out of the mire, millions sold enough said.🚗🏴
Welsh Man Think they were popular as a disability car...hold on in their mate..one day if you work hard..you can have a Austin allegro. ..
A Austin allegro is a classic now, even if they were a disability car,,they not be a beautiful car,but good to drive , lot of cars out there from better makes, are worse to drive , less reliable.,badge name doesn’t make it a bad car, 🏴🚗
I am sure it's based on a corsa not an astra which gives it a lot more room especially in the rear and boot, It makes sense for a small family as a second car.
Great vid. Although you are a little misinformed about the mobility side of things. The cars have to be returned in perfect condition with dealership servicing all but general wear and tear over the 3 year contract .You have to pay for all the repairs needed if it is not in tip top condition. also you are only allowed a set mileage as well . I suggest that a mobility car is one of the better options for a secondhand buyer.
09gearchange It’s true there are some good ones out there but my experiences with them haven’t been great on the whole. They often stink of cigarette and have burns in the seats, curbed alloys Etc
Whatever your thoughts on the car, as a trader, one simple thing is indefatigable...they sell quite well and therefore make good stock sense.
Good balanced review. Looks like a decent car
Everyone is slaggin them off on here, my Mrs has always had vauxhall cars she has a 1.7 diesel SE nice leather heated seats, ect. I hated Vauxhall cars whith a passion it's not a bad little car bit of road noise but I cant fault it. She loves it I rest my case 🤙
@dave 1 Tbf mate it's not an inspiring car on ist test drive, some of the points people make are valid. I've had many cars Volkswagen for a few years but we've lived with the moka for 6 years and I've grown to like it, hasn't missed a beat. One thing you do need coming over the cairngorms in the winter at 4 am is a reliable car I've done that run at least a dozen times coming up from the south.🤙
@dave 1 I was looking for a car for my daughter the moka came out good on safety aspects, she lives in Birmingham she wanted a petrol same SE spec she likes it 1.6 petrol not a patch on our 1.7 diesel as its only 5 speed. The guy doing the review didn't give it that much of a slating I wouldn't worry what anyone else says but I would recommend a specked up one the leather is nice, heated seats, and heated steering wheel, Regards Pete.
A man behind the wheel of any of these type of cars really is a depressing sight indeed. You just think “he’s given up poor bastard”.
It really is, I always feel like they probably wanted something cool like a porsche or even decent like a 5 series but his wife said no.....personally i'd upgrade the wife.
Believe it or not, most people have higher ambitions than being seen in a fancy car. And even more couldn't care less about seeing you in one. A more likely response would be 'look at that twat'.
Don't mock the Mokka!!
The Vauxhall ' Latte ' is due out next year.☕☕☕
You’re kidding , I hope !
@@colinmoss7343 Yes I am, but you never know..VW brought us the Toe-Rag😁
4x4 do get a lot of flack, I have often heard a 2 wheel drive with winter tyres will do better than 4x4 - so I put winter tyres on 4x4 and had great success in Alps. Toaster at less than 150 watt, good luck.
Mat Davies fair play for going to the Alps in a Vauxhall. Living the dream!
No no no, I’ll watch the video later but no I had the misfortune of having one courtesy of Europcar.
I’d rather walk.
Same! "Mine" was a petrol turbo and I fancy the very worst car I have ever driven. Europcar assured me of an estate car, I turned up and they tried to give me an Avensis saloon and I somehow ended up with one of these. Total dogsh*t
The mother in law had 1 and its by far the most unrefined waste of space pile of dog shit ive ever seen. And i drive a peugeot 107
So walk
@@rob1984p Europcar in Germany - paid for a "premium compact" so A-Class, 1 Series, A3. Turned up and they handed me they keys to a Mokka. Wasn't impressed.
pukka!! Roy Keane is sending the boys around. Stay indoors and keep safe! Your front drive must be fking huge!! Keep it up mate
There’s the new Mokka X. It comes with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder with 102 or 130 horsepower, and a 6 or 8-speed automatic transmission, a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel with 110 horsepower and a 6-speed manual transmission only, and an electric motor with 134 horsepower.
I'd love hear your review about the new civic with 1.0 turbo
We drove a mokka from Doncaster all the way to Monaco in 2016 for the euros. We were supposed to be hiring a diesel Astra and we ended up with a petrol mokka for 2 weeks
It would have been better, if you had folded up one of both of the rear chairs and the rear door to show us how wide the area the car could have and had driven for a while so that we could see how comfortable and flexible you are. And you could also have given us an outside looking, showing us how the car would have looked like when moving.
I’m from OZ & had one of these as a hire car in the UK a few years ago . It was the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven ! The hire company upgraded us to a Volvo XC90 , that was probably the most comfortable car I’ve driven . What a contrast !
Chalk and cheese
That's weird .... I was in the UK a few years ago and hired a Mokka, only for few days, so I can't give a longer-term appraisal....But I did not find it "uncomfortable" at all.....not the best and certainly not in the same league as the Volvo XC90 (which I have here in Chile with the V8 engine)....as Matt says: That's Chalk & Cheese....
You feel in the Volvo you just want to drive to the end of planet earth..... no fatigue involved at all....even in heavy traffic.
(My only headache is the fuel bill!)
p.s. The Mokka I rented was the most hideous colour I have ever seen a car in.......
It was a head-turner though... for all the wrong reasons!
Replaced by a 1.6CDTi in 2015, far smoother and "whisper" as they called it!
Still can't understand why Vauxhall had the brown/blue interior option! I used to sell them and it was always annoying to get one of these in !
They got the chop because they were made by GM subsidiary ex-dawoo factory in Korea, also known for making most European market Chevrolet’s.
In the United States they are marketed as the Buick Encore.
They are Buicks best selling model
You see them literally everywhere .
Owners love them and consumer surveys praise their reliability/durability.
Buick is a semi-premium brand and the Encore is one of the most expensive in it's segment.
Thats interesting
When I was on holiday in the UK in 2017 I was supposed to rent a Passat from Europcar at Euston but when we got there the outlet was closed due to a gas leak. We had to walk back to St. Pancras where the Eastern Europeans running the Europcar there fobbed me into a 1.6 petrol Mokka. We drove it to Edinburgh that day and let’s say I was very happy to get out of it the next morning and into a Nissan X-Trail diesel. Gives you an idea what the Mokka was like. Definitely agree about the overall lack of character.
Another very good review. Which do you think is the class leader!
Great video as usual. You can't plug a toaster into the mains socket without blowing it though. A toaster is around 1000W!
It was a joke to be fair
@@HighPeakAutos LOL
Another no B/S review Matt excellent mate
Much appreciated
I’ve recently bought a Mokka 1.7CDTi tech line as a first car (2014 reg) and i’m enjoying driving it. I’ve had only one problem with it (easily stalling) but i’m still getting used to the handling of the car itself. It’s cheap on tax and a £50 fuel tank fill up from empty? Yes please when it goes pretty well on the MPG (around 45 average on normal roads, 55MPG on motorway/dual carriageway driving). I find it pretty quiet, quieter than my partner’s diesel Hyundai iX20 and all connectivity works well enough for what I need it for. It’s not for everyone, but like I said, it’s my first car i’ve owned but the second I have driven daily and it’s pretty decent. I’m not sure i’ll be sticking with the mokka in the future but it does it’s job well :) it also fit’s my partner and friends who all average about 6ft in both the front and the back. Overall its okay :) again, it all depends what you want out of a car.
As for the plastic around the centre console, mine is flaking as i’ve noticed. I only bought it a week ago but it was like this when I got it. Not a problem for me though
Hi I know this is a really old comment but I hope you see this! I’m looking at buying one this week, also my first car. Looking at the 1.7 SE CDTI and now that it’s been five months do you have an update on how you find it? Cheers 😄
@@libbyc2856 I love my Mokka. It handles like a dream! Although i’ve had a few hiccups with it, which I think are just a few blips with my particular car, I don’t have any issues with it per se.
Bluetooth works well as does the hands free system and fuel economy (diesel) is bloody brilliant. I commute about two miles each way to work and back six days a week and haven’t filled up in five weeks :P. (Compare this to when I had to commute 26 miles a day for training. This was every two weeks to fill up)
It’s still costing me around £50 to fill up so that’s good. You’re a little higher up in the car too, so simply pivot and slide out and climb in (i’m 5’4”).
Definitely DEFINITELY have a trial/test drive before you buy if you can. It does have a ‘plastic’ feel to it but it is a safe and comfy car.
If it’s your first, why go for something showy and expensive??? ;)
When you can have a bit cheaper and cheerful and easy to maintain?
Hope this helps but I can give you more info if you need it :)
I bought this for practical reasons and not for looks. I find it comfy but i’m not fussy. (I’m not saying you are :) ) it’s quiet for me and easy to navigate and understand. Vauxhall do go for simplicity as well.
Good luck with choosing your first car!!
@@planes1997 Thanks so much for the reply! I have sat in a different Mokka and I know what you mean by the plasticky feel but a friend of mine had two Corsas so it feels basically the same.
No I agree I’m the same as you- not fussy and want a good practical car! Great to hear about how cheap it is to fill up too. I think I will go for it- I’ll be seeing it next week so fingers crossed it’ll be mine soon!
There’s a lot of negative comments on here but I saw yours and wanted to reply as I’m sure that 90% of the negative commenters have never even sat in one! I’m glad to see a positive review after 5 months! :)
@@libbyc2856 i’m glad I could help! Let me know what you think :)
The Mokka has a lot of respect it’s compact, cheap to buy/run, if you’re not to fussy with a small family this is the car for you, (great review mate)
Its really funny. I have absolutely zero interest in these suv kinda silly cars , but the hilarious reviews you make , the laugh is guaranteed in the videos😁👍
Haha thanks!
"It's not a Nissan Juke"... Hahaha...
I totally lost it...
Got no thoughts or comments on this particular car, but... Just wanted to say... I watch all your videos and appreciate your straightforward, layman's terms, honest reviews. Ace... Keep up the great work 👍
Glad you like them
Once again Matt, another no-nonsense no bullsh*t tell it as it is quality review mate. Reg`s as always Steve.
stevie 007 Cheers steve!
I’ll stick with the Renegade. Yes it drives me insane, but I love it!
Have thought about getting one of these (Renegade). What are the best and worst points?
Jimmy N13 For a crossover. It really is the most capable. The interior space is great, I’m 6’2 and have plenty of room. The Uconnect system is easy to use, and obviously subject to opinion, the design is great.
Downsides would be the speakers are notorious for letting water in them, which deactivates the parking sensors. However, it is under warranty. The batteries can also be a weak point (particularly the diesel) if it’s used for short journeys. But I overlook it’s flaws, because it’s got so much character! And it’s different.
I've not had a renegade but the Fiat association would put me off. Isn't it just a 500L underneath?
High Peak Autos Its very closely related to the 500L, but is wider, so the same platform as the 500X. And yes, your hesitance is probably justified. As I said before, the battery & speakers are a weak spot. But it is very capable & I can’t help but love it. It’s got the Alfa vibe. Will drive you mad at times, but like a dog, you can’t get angry with it. Non car people will never understand the emotional attachment we get for our cars 😂😭. Or it just me?
Having had a later model (2016/17) MY Mokka X Elite 1.6 CDTi Auto ( Shock Horror) in the family I have had plenty of experience of one. Sadly that model did not have either a CD or the 240 volt socket. It never missed a beat and just needed regular servicing. Also it fared quite well, with good winter tyres fitted, in moderate snow. This was a Motability car and was one the many that are very well looked after, regularly serviced and have quite low mileages. Sorry to dispel the myth of abused vehicles as they are in the minority as a rule. They are well worth buying and do not generally stay around for long, in fact some get virtually pre-sold when the vehicle is being returned to the selling dealer.
Like anything it depends on the individual and how they've been looked after. Generally I find them to be unloved and abused but I'm sure there are some exceptions
@@HighPeakAutos To a point you are correct. However, having dealt with Motability since 1980 both as a Main Dealer and a customer I can honestly say that the good majority far outweigh the bad especially as Motability pay a good condition bonus of £600.00 at lease termination. Perhaps all the good ones are snapped up by the Motability Dealers thus leaving the rest for the general trade.
Allan Gibson That could be the case
Two second video this, your logo on the left, the word no on the right. Job done.
For me, the point about having a car such as the Mokka is that it has high ground clearance. If there's a flooded road, a car with high ground clearance is likely to get through where a 'normal' car might not. The same is true of the Yeti, or the Audi Q3. With climate change bringing more regular flooding, and with few if any ditches around now to prevent the roads flooding, more motorists might have to consider changing to an SUV.
Considering one of these. Are the 1.4 turbos reasonably reliable ?
Very generous review. In reality it's as reliable as asking a donkey to do a horse's job. After a few years, as with most Vauxhalls, every other week something new will fall apart.
Defender.
Interesting Mr Bond...
"......lava lamp"... spat my coffee out.. well done bud 😉
😁
I personaly own one because i need a small car for a large person.
i am a single so i dont need a large suv or wagon and a small car is not suitable for a guy at 2,05m
Also they are realy reliable and i am happy with mine, plus i have the very comfortable AGR seats wich are a dream to sit in
Btw they are still continued in the US and Germany the next generation will soon be releaesed this year and sold next year,
“A bit like Roy Keane” 😂😂😂
the good old izusu diesel tried and thrashed by every astra van owner ever !
Thats right
sounds like my Landrover 300Tdi from 1996
Remember having one in a work van when I was 20ish early 2000's loads of fun and quick for a van.
Phil Earl the 1.7’s are 100% belt driven
@Phil Earl
Your right about the 9-5 but I think these are a different lump.
I used to have a Chevrolet Cruze with that diesel engine. It was very loud on startup, but it was punchy and economical. Lot more space inside than a Mokka as well...
The Cruze is often overlooked. Very popular in other markets
@@HighPeakAutos, yes, I owned two of them in succession, a 2011 pre-facelift 1.6 petrol and a 2014 post-facelift 1.7 diesel, both in LS trim. Worth absolutely nothing these days at all! I would rather have one of those than a Mokka personally, even if a lot of the fundamental engineering (engine, transmission) is exactly the same in both.
The best thing about all Mokkas is the domestic put socket! What a troll! :D
Haha literally the only thing
Interesting review after I watched you trash the Nissan Juke. I have driven the Mokka for a number of months and the Juke for a week as a rental. I must say I disagree with your assessments, the styling of the Juke is a personal preference and i will not discuss that, but the handling of the Mokka was just awful, maybe the 4X4 is different but I quickly grew to hate the way it handled and the overall feel of driving it, I was happy to get rid of it. The Juke on the other hand was a rental that i had in Spain, I had enough room for luggage for three people in the trunk and there was enough room in the cabin. I drove it up and down lots of winding mountain roads and to be honest I quite liked it. I Would not want to drive the Mokka there but like I said, maybe the 4X4 handles better.
The only way you can get to work if a Focus is stuck get a Land Rover Defender with big chunky Tyres then you can tow it out of the way.
thanks for the chuckle, can see you making toast in one, take care
I had a 1.4 Turbo automatic Mokka X as a hire car when in Berlin. Obviously would have been rude to not take it on derestricted autobahn, giving it everything it had, an old Citroen Berlingo came sailing past me with ease 😂
Hahaha

Hitler would have had one then
Malcolm Gorrie lol I have just pictured that

Could you do a video about how best to haggle or get a bargain from a car garage/forecourt?
Most dont haggle these days. We're up against tough competition in the first place so our margins are small. Too small to negotiate in most cases
We got one of these as a courtesy car for a few weeks, and it was utterly horrific.
As always a polished review ,
What's your beef with focus's :)
We cant all drive Range Rovers :))
I like Focus's. My first car was a Focus
One of those cars which is just a car. Keeps the rain out and gets you to the shops. No real character, but the folk that buy them probably don't care. I think we had one once as a courtesy car. I'd like to tell you what I thought of it but I can't. I can remember exactly what a Mk1 MX-5 felt like to drive 15 years ago and exactly what my Impreza sounded like as the boost kicked in. I could talk about my Discovery all day but all I can tell you about the Vauxhall is that it was blue. Maybe.
Haha exactly!
Lava lamp. Haha. Epic :-)
In a flood how deep can it go?i have one i bought it second hand, but it's only front wheel drive. The TC if i press the button dose it make the u.s.v.more economical?Anthony.
I have owned a vauxhall mokka for 3 years best car I have ever had however the vauxhall Grandland X was the most unreliable car I have ever driven.
had a 1.6cdti 4x4 for over a year and been wanting to get rid of it for over 6 months
this should be a 3 second video where your head comes on screen from the side .. you go NO.. end of video :)
PanZ3r69 like the Rover 75 vid
t5jerry 😃 I did give him a bit of stick about it
Ha! I am astounded that 1.7 Izuzu unit is still in use that was fitted to our pile of misery 2002 Astra estate. Even then I thought it was so unrefined compared to the compatation. It's a strong unit though. Will do 200k probably! 😂
Haha yes. They churned them out for years. Very agricultural
@@HighPeakAutos Ha! They haven't even changed the starter motor. I recognised it straight away! Still not the worst car or engine and better than a bus pass! Sure it quietiens down on the move! 😂 Just a quick question... As someone who isn't driving much at the moment... I have a 2002 Fabia estate. How often do you drive your fleet to stop any damage from them sitting for too long? Take mine out once a week and get it thoroughly up to speed and warmed up. I hope this is enough. Would hate for it to be damaged from lack of use! Thanks for some great content. 🙂
Good comment on the motability scheme,basically never get looked after and get thrashed to Prestatyn every weekend by the registered keepers 3rd cousins neighbours mate as the registered keeper is never in the car,it's being used as a pizza delivery car or a cash in hand taxi service
😂 Exactly! You can’t publicly say this though because you get called a snob
I watched or read a review of the Mocca, where the tester said: it would be fine if it was the only car available, but even then I wouldn't buy it...
Another a good honest review Matt, thank you.
Whenever I see a Mokka, I immediately think 'Corsa on Steroids', in the same way that a Juke is a 'Micra on Steroids' lol.
I think “on stilts” would be more appropriate tbh
Nescafe sell Mokka as well.
Europcar in the south of France presented us this, when I’d booked a “Peugeot or similar” over the internet from home in Australia. A mild sense of depression came over me, and although it did the job better than I’d expected , I kept losing it in carparks because it was so bloody nondescript. Low expectations I suppose. In Australia these were marketed as the Holden Traxx and sales were practically non existent. I just thought who’d buy one of these?
Toast and a lava lamp! I’m in! 😄
Also sold in the UK as the chevrolet Trax
I've never seen one here
@@HighPeakAutos they didn't sell many because they lacked the "cachet" of the vauxhall badge. Maybe they only existed to create some lustre in the mokka
